It claims it's for full size but I will use this in my Glock 30 Gen 5. What's the FPS on this ammo? Buds need to improve their website.

Hi Jason and welcome. Muzzle velocity is 1140 fps from a full sized (5-inch) handgun. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Jason, for some reason Bud's does not always put FPS. Full specs here - Rating: +P Caliber: 45 ACP Bullet Type: Brass Jacket Hollow Point (BJHP) Bullet Weight: 185 gr Muzzle Energy: 534 ft lbs Muzzle Velocity: 1140 fps Rounds Per Box: 20 Boxes Per Case: 25 Application: Personal/Home Defense Casing Material: Nickel-Plated Hazair: Yes . Stay safe & have a great day!

The FPS & energy is the same as the compact version. The only difference is the price. Even though this is marketed as full size but I only fire 220 grain & 230 grain out of my full size. So what's the difference between this & the compact version other than the price?

Hi Andrew and welcome. The compact version has a faster burning powder for optimal shorter barrel performance. cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

What is the FPS & energy? Is this the +P? I know it's marketed as full size but I will use in my compact. My 4.1 & 4.7 inch barrel I use 230 grain +P.

Hi Andrew, this is +P 185 grain Bonded Jacketed Hollow Point (BJHP) ammo. The muzzle velocity is 1140 fps and the muzzle energy is 534 ft lbs Stay safe & have a great day!

Good ammo. Good price. Quick delivery as usual. Who could ask for more?

I bought a couple of boxes of this ammo. So far I have only fired about 20 of these to confirm function in my remington rp45. No problems with the limited rounds fired.

James C on 07/30/2017

Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

This ammo scores well in independent tests, is reasonably priced and most importantly available. I like it because the bullet profile is similar to ball. It feeds reliably in my 1911s.
